Grandeur Western Caribbean, October 27, 2006

Constellation beat us to port once again.

View to the south from Costa Maya.

Costa Maya cruise village just past the Constellation.  We are preparing to back into the open space on the other side of this ship.

Not sure what this guy was doing, other than playing chicken with 90,000 ton ships!

Head on view of Constellation.

The back of Grandeur slooowwly swings around to back into the spot.

More thruster wash.  This is where the captain got that little ding on the side, he was being VERY careful as we docked.  It took us nearly 45 minutes.

Yeah, probably not the best place to be...

The bridge of the Constellation.

Almost there... almost there!

Hey!  The Constellation has HOT TUBS on their balconies!!  What

Grandeur Deck10, with Constellation next door.

Ok, yes I will reveal this amusing fact:  I am nearly certain these two bridge officers from Constellation were looking down at our dent!  Took this from the Windjammer as I ate breakfast.

All safely docked and tied down.  This is where I took the Costa Maya GPS point for my Cruise Maps page.

Anybody seen any tourists around here???

The cruise village pool, with the Grandeur and Constellation in the background.

On the road to the Chacchoben Ruins.  It takes about an hour.
